NSW Planning Minister Has Opportunity to Set The
NSW Planning Minister has opportunity to set the Framework for the State’s Future Wednesday, 01 April 2015 The new Planning Minister in NSW, Rob Stokes, has a great opportunity to restructure the planning system to ensure the state’s future, says the Urban Taskforce. “The Urban Taskforce congratulates Rob Stokes on becoming the NSW Planning Minister and we look forward to a fruitful relationship,” says the Urban Taskforce CEO, Chris Johnson. “We have worked effectively with Rob in his previous portfolio and we appreciate his detailed understanding of the planning portfolio and the importance of balancing community issues with industry productivity.” “There are a number of reform areas in planning that did not reach a satisfactory solution during the last term of the government and Minister Stokes will need to get hold of this unfinished business quickly to bed down the governance structure and the legislative framework. The previous White Paper on Planning Reform raised the need to rethink zoning, strategic planning, to extend complying development and generally simplify our complex planning system. A crucial issue will be how communities are constructively involved in the planning process without frustrating potential investment in much needed new housing.” “The new minister will also need to work with the Minister for Local Government on the potential reforms of local government so that an effective system evolves. This will include the urgent establishment of the Greater Sydney Commission and how this body is able to ensure the delivery

01-Clune 2004 Fed Election
Howard at the Crossroads? The October 2004 Federal Election David Clune ••• On 1 September 2001, PP McGuinness wrote that although John Howard’s electoral prospects at the beginning of that year had looked ‘extremely dismal’, he had opined that ‘You can never write Howard off until he is buried at the crossroads with a wooden stake through his heart’. 1 In the first half of 2004, many commentators seemed to have forgotten this fundamental tenet of Australian political science in their haste to proclaim the forthcoming defeat of Howard by new Opposition Leader Mark Latham. Alan Ramsey, for example, wrote in March: The circle is closing. In a bit under 100 days and after just four weeks of the Parliament sitting, Mark Latham’s leadership has collapsed John Howard’s political authority even more thoroughly than it has weakened his Government’s electoral dominance. The signs are everywhere, unmistakably. 2 The Labor Leadership On the night of the 2001 election, defeated Opposition Leader Kim Beazley announced his resignation from the position. It was largely a personal decision. Beazley’s situation was by no means untenable. He had fought a good campaign that had averted what appeared to be a looming landslide defeat for Labor. 3 In retrospect, his decision was a much more momentous one than it seemed at the time and was to cause Labor serious, ongoing problems. On 22 November, Deputy Leader Simon Crean was elected unopposed as Beazley’s replacement. It proved to be a disastrous choice. Crean’s public image was the . • Research Service New South Wales Parliamentary Library .

(Legislative Council, 24 November 2011, Proof) POLICE
Full Day Hansard Transcript (Legislative Council, 24 November 2011, Proof) Proof Extract from NSW Legislative Council Hansard and Papers Thursday, 24 November 2011 (Proof). POLICE AMENDMENT (DEATH AND DISABILITY) BILL 2011 Second Reading Debate resumed from 23 November 2011. The Hon. ROBERT BROWN [8.04 p.m.]: I am happy to make a contribution in relation to the Police Amendment (Death and Disability) Bill 2011. A considerable amount of work has been done during this week by the Minister for Police and Emergency Services and his staff and the Police Association. I have a sense that we are there. Let me define there: My left hand is stretched out to the left-hand side of my body, and that is where the Government started; my right hand is stretched out to the right-hand side of my body, and that is where the Police Association started. They are not in the middle but they are somewhere closer to where the Police Association probably wants to be for its members than I thought was possible a week ago. We have attempted to test the Government's position on the issues that the Police Association has brought to the Christian Democratic Party and the Shooters and Fishers Party. We have done that this week in a number of meetings with both parties individually and with both parties in the same room. Neither the Christian Democratic Party nor the Shooters and Fishers Party have members who are professional advocates—although both Mr Borsak and I have done quite a bit of that sort of thing in our time in business—and it has been an extremely difficult process.

2019 Nsw State Budget Estimates – Relevant Committee Members
2019 NSW STATE BUDGET ESTIMATES – RELEVANT COMMITTEE MEMBERS There are seven “portfolio” committees who run the budget estimate questioning process. These committees correspond to various specific Ministries and portfolio areas, so there may be a range of Ministers, Secretaries, Deputy Secretaries and senior public servants from several Departments and Authorities who will appear before each committee. The different parties divide up responsibility for portfolio areas in different ways, so some minor party MPs sit on several committees, and the major parties may have MPs with titles that don’t correspond exactly. We have omitted the names of the Liberal and National members of these committees, as the Alliance is seeking to work with the Opposition and cross bench (non-government) MPs for Budget Estimates. Government MPs are less likely to ask questions that have embarrassing answers. Victor Dominello [Lib, Ryde], Minister for Customer Services (!) is the minister responsible for Liquor and Gaming. Kevin Anderson [Nat, Tamworth], Minister for Better Regulation, which is located in the super- ministry group of Customer Services, is responsible for Racing. Sophie Cotsis [ALP, Canterbury] is the Shadow for Better Public Services, including Gambling, Julia Finn [ALP, Granville] is the Shadow for Consumer Protection including Racing (!). Portfolio Committee no. 6 is the relevant committee. Additional information is listed beside each MP. Bear in mind, depending on the sitting timetable (committees will be working in parallel), some MPs will substitute in for each other – an MP who is not on the standing committee but who may have a great deal of knowledge might take over questioning for a session.
